Red
Vigna Vecchia Scarrone
By Vietti, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Alba from the oldest part of the Scarrone vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, where low yields come from the age of the vines.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with intense aromas of ripe red and black cherries, vanilla and hints of spice. Fresh acidity, full body, balance and an intense finish.
